Ex-Toon ace Cisse was given a seven-game ban for gobbing at then-Man United defender Jonny Evans in March 2015.

Carragher, in his Daily Mail column, said at the time: "As usual, there have been a number of people who have said 'it is the worst thing that can happen on a pitch'; it is vile but let me assure you now – I would have preferred Lucas Neill to have spat at me the day he broke my leg in September 2003!

"I was spat at once in my career. It came during a Uefa Cup game against Celta Vigo in 1998 and the player in question was a Russian midfielder called Aleksander Mostovoi.

"I was shocked more than angry when he did it because I couldn't believe what had happened.

"Cisse has admitted being in the wrong and hit with a seven-game ban.

"I know it is a disgusting thing to do but I do think that punishment seems a little excessive, particularly if you compare it to an over-the-top tackle that would 'only' get three games."
